The fountain at Memorial Park


If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.....

Wow it has been so humid and sticky here this week. We've had some rainy days and that has bought on some major warmth. While my car was at the mechanic's on Monday my 17 year old son and I walked down to local Memorial Park to try and cool down and while we sat under a tree to cool down I spotted the fountain nearby. There were a few children playing in it after I took the photo but there is a sign on it saying no dogs allowed in the water. I think the water was probably very refreshing though.

That's a really nice fountain, I like it.

About your question on the bike shop, yes they do sell lots of bikes, they are the only shop in town plus they do repairs too.

That's a beautiful fountain. It reminds me a bit of the one in St. Heliers.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
